English Translation:

  1. O Lord, nothing further remains that may be called “mine.” Father, friend, brother - You alone are all these to me.
  2. My friends, wife, sons and daughters are now Your servants and maidservants. Whatever care I take for them is only as they are related to You.
  3. Declaring my wealth, family members, home, and wife are truly Yours, I continue as a mere servant to dutifully protect them.
  4. For the purpose of Your service I will earn money and bear the expense of maintaining Your household.
  5. I know nothing of what is good or bad; I simply render my service. I am but a watchman set to guard the properties of Your household.
  6. I exercise my senses only according to Your direction, and thus I hear, see, smell, and taste.
  7. I no longer do anything for my own pleasure. Bhaktivinoda says “Your pleasure is the essence of everything.”
